You can buy 'mouse' flavored cat food. Mice taste the same as chicken, so they put chicken into the cat food, and the cats think they are eating 'mouse flavored cat food.' How do I know this? I had a friend who was stranded in a cave during a flood for three months, and he had to eat the small lizards and mice that he caught ... I know, it's weird, but true.

Truth is there are probably plenty of mice that have crept into the vat whilst the cat food was being made so the ******* may have been eating them unbeknown to them.
There you are there's a business opportunity for you brand your own mice flavoured Mice food. No one would know the difference even if it was made out of pig swill would they because you would be saying it is mouse flavoured not that is is actually made out of the real thing.
How long did it take you think up this really good question?
Mind someone doesn't steal your thunder and market it before you.I Iove innovative ideas don't you?
I have no idea why there is a line of Asterisks it was supposed to say cats.........that's weird!

Maybe because we eat fish and chicken and beef so we know what it tastes like, making it easy to create a flavour on it. But i don't think a lot of people eat mice or other rodents, so it's more difficult to make a flavour on them. I mean, it's pretty hard to make a flavour on something you've never tasted.

Because it isn't marketable - there was once a catfood that claimed to be mouse flavoured. It didn't sell, mostly because the majority of people thought 'EW gross!' when they saw it!
Pet foods actually need to sound nice to humans, since they're the ones buying them, hence all the 'succulent chunks in gravy' stuff - those commercials aren't designed for the animals you know!

Cats will chase mice because they are attracted by the quick movement. You generally find that once caught, a cat will play with a mouse until it kills it. It then tires of it because it's no more fun and rarely eats it. In the wild, cats will go after baby rabbits for food.

b/c mouse flavoured cat food wouldn't go over with pet owners very well, people would rather buy milk and salmon flavored stuff than a mouse flavor.

This would not be a best seller for my cats. When they were younger, they would kill mice but they wouldn't eat them - too well fed. Poor dead mice would just look as if they were sleepng, untouched and intact. Thankfully, my 3 moggies are now too old to catch their own tails.........

It doesn't even have to be mouse *flavoured*, they could just fill it with real mice and rats. Dead ones of course. Humanely killed.
